Yep, we went to Washington DC today. I almost felt I had already been there because there were so many places that I had seen in movies and on TV
“Our Group”
First we had to go on the subway or transit. It was just like in the movies. I kept waiting for someone to try and jump on the track.
Washington DC Capitol
We got Elder Boehrer a wheelchair because his hip was acting up. He enjoyed the ride
We had to wear headphones in order to hear our guide. There were about 10 other groups that went through when we did. I took a picture of the plaque put up to recognize those who lost their lives in the field of Pennsylvania and possibly saved the Capitol from being destroyed.
There was a statue of Brigham Young – nice.
The Museum of History – you know, the one in “Night at the Museum”
The Hope Diamond
Remember the miners from Chili who were rescued – this is the container they were rescued in.
The Capitol and Sisters Carlson; Gibbons; Boehrer
The Washington Monument and Sisters Gibbons; Mickelson; and Elder Mickelson
